Last year during the holidays, I was down in New Orleans with some members of my family, participating in a week-long service trip.

Here's a feel-good travel memoir for the day after Christmas. Keep the good-tidings alive by curling up with Joyce Major's memoir of her inspiring volunteer travels around the world.

In the past week, I've come across two different thumbs up for a collection of travel essays by Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom. I've now added Nomad's Hotel: Travels in Time and Space to my 2008 "really-must-read" list and wanted to give all of you list-loving readers a chance ...One for the Road: Where Flavor Was Born

Funny man Chris Elliott has taken his comedy to new heights in his third book, a comic spoof on a classic travel adventure that was released last month.
